1. You are playing a game that uses two fair number cubes. If the total on the number cubes is either 6 or 10 on your next turn, you will win the game. What is the probability of winning on your next turn? Express your answer as a percent. Round if necessary.
2. A pouch contains 59 green beads, 78 red beads, and 50 yellow beads. How many blue beads should be added so that the probability of drawing a red bead is one-third(1/3)?
3. There are 5 options on the dessert menu at a restraunt. Erin and Ellen like all of the choices equally, so they each choose a dessert at random from the menu. What is the probability that Erin will choose an apple pie and Ellen will choose strawberry cheesecake for dessert? Express your answer as a decimal.
4. The bumper car ride at the state fair has 3 red cars, 4 green cars, and 2 blue cars. Joe is first in line for the ride and is assigned a car at random. Bill is next in line and is randomly assigned a car. What is the probability that both Joe and Bill will drive a red bumper car? Express your answer as a percent.
5. Thomas is keeping records at the city fishing tournament. In the parentheses below shows the information on the number of each type of fish caught in the tournament so far.
a- Estimate the probability that the next fish caught will be a perch. Show your work.
b- Estimate the probability that the next fish will be either a bass OR a walleye. Show your work.
(There are 32 perch, 21 sunfish, 14 bass, and 12 walleye)
